PILLOW-SHAM HOLDER."

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 263,730, datedSeptemberb, 1882.-

7 Application filed February '11, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRED. SETTE, of Racine,in the county of Racine and State of Wiscousin, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Pillow Sham Holders, of which thefollowing, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is aspecification.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a top view ofa,

the said tube. E E are slots in the tube 0, and

F F are set-screws or clamps passing through .the slots E E and enteringthe rods D D. G G are ferrules on the outer ends of the rods D D, and aa are flanges on the outer ends of the said ferrules. In the flanges a aare the notches a a, and a a are spindles extend.

ing laterally from the ends of the parts G G. Inthe upper ends of thebrackets B B are the elongated openings or slots b b, entered by thespindles a. a, and c c are rests supporting the flanges a a. H H areoutwardly-bent pins applied to the rods D D near their outer ends, and HH are inwardly-bent pins applied to sliding rings II, mounted on thetube (3. J J

. are rods rigidly applied to the ferrules G G through which the-rods JJ pass freely. M is and to thetube C, respectively, and K K are lugsrigidly applied to the outer ends of the rods J J. L L are rods passingfreely through the lugs K K, and K K-are lugs rigidly applied to theinner ends of the rods L L, and

a tube rigidly connected to the outer end of the rod L, and N N are rodsentering the ends of the tube M. The outer ends of the rods N 'N areconnected to the outer ends of the rods L L. It is to be understood thatthe rods D D and N N slide in the tubes (J and.M, respect- 1ve y.

It will be perceived that the parts 0 and D D constitute an extensiblerod,whic h is thereby adapted to be applied with facility to bed. steadsdiffering in width. It will also be perceived that the front rod,consisting of the parts M and N N, is also laterally extensible,

and may therefore be made either longer or shorter, according to thelength required for the rod or part O D D. It is obvious, also, that thefront rod or part, M N N, may be ad-' justed or set either a greater orless distance from the rod 0 D D, as occasion may require, and that thewhole frame may be tilted in its bearings. When the holder is turned upit will be held there for the reason that the notches a a will thenengage the rests c c. When it is desired to lower the. holder it willonly be necessary to raise the spindles a a sufficiently to carry thenotches away from the said rests, the slots 1) I) being long enough forthat purpose. The flanges a a will then rest on the rests or supports 0o.

The pillow-shams are to be applied to the holder by being caught neartheir upper outer corners to the pins H H and at their other corners tothe pins H H, the latter of which, being movable, may be adjusted tohold the shams smoothly.

I make the brackets B B angular or elbowshaped, as shown, to prevent theedges of the shams from being crumpled when the pillows are uncovered,and for a like reason I extend the rods N N a little way beyond the rodsL L.

This holder is light, cheap, and durable, and simple in its constructionand operation.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a pillow-sham holder, the laterally-extensible and rotary rod 0 DD, adapting the holder to bedsteads of dili'erent widths, substantiallyas specified.

2. In a pillow-sham holder, the laterally e-xtensible and' rotary rod 0D D and the extensible rods J L, applied to the said rod, substantiallyas and for the purposes specified.

3. The combination, in a pillow-sham holder, of the tube 0, the slidingrods D D, entering the said tube, the extensible rods J L, applied tothe said tube and to the rods D D, and the bracketsB B, entered byspindles applied to the rods D 1), substantially as and for the purposesspecified.

4. The combination,in apillow-sham holder, of the tube 0, having thereinthe slots E E, the sliding rods D D, entering the ends of the said tube,and the clamps F F, passing through the said slots and entering the rodsD D,'snbstantially as and for the purpose specified.

5. The combination, in a pillow-sham holder, of the fixed pins 11 H andthe adjustable pins 5 H H, substantially as and for the purposesspecified.

6. The combination, in a pillow-sham support, of the slotted brackets BB, having thereon the rests 0 c, and a rotary rod having spindlesentering the said slots and carrying the m notched flanges a a,substantially as and for the purposes specified.
